Well I should be picking up the Storm/G4 later today. Been testing the Storm/G3 against the Cascade SS, establishing a base-line and verifying results. On further testing the G3 has retained its ~1C lead over the SS, using a Barton AthlonXP 2800+ @ 2500MHz/1.95v running BurnK7, and these results apply to both the on-die diode, and external monitoring. Performance vs pumping pressure tests show that at lower pumping pressures (~Eheim 1048) that the G3 still holds a slim lead over the SS, which slowly grows as the pumping pressure is increased.
With the G4 I don't anticipate any major gains - slightly more than a 0.5C improvement at the standard testing conditions if reality matches theory. It may work out a little better than that as the G3's implementation did have a flaw that I tried to work around, but am uncertain as to how successful I was in doing so.
